The News Tribune seeks a smart, energetic education and breaking news reporter to join its award-winning newsroom in Tacoma, one of America’s most diverse and fast-growing communities. At The News Tribune, we put a premium on breaking stories first as well as investing in hard-nosed, accountability journalism that our audience can’t get anywhere else. Our journalism focuses on our local communities, and in that role we have the ability to spotlight problems, highlight solutions and truly make a difference -- all the reasons you got into journalism. And we are part of McClatchy, a digitally driven company focused on innovation, with newsrooms in 30 communities in the United States. In 2021, our team exposed how an engineering decision made five decades ago during the design of an Interstate 5 bridge has resulted in climate-driven flood risks that threaten to sever the West Coast’s main north-south freeway. That work resulted in the state Legislature earmarking $75 million for design of a new bridge and won The News Tribune a McClatchy President’s Award. Also in 2021, our team-based coverage of the decision to file charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter against three Tacoma police officers linked to the death of Tacoma resident Manuel Ellis won second place in SPJ Region 10’s Breaking News category.
